I'm really excited to be uploading this lesson on one of my favorite comedians. Today I will be showing you "how to draw Dave Chappelle", step by step. Dave Chappelle was born in Washington D.C. on August 24, 1973 which would make him thirty nine years old. Both his mother and father were professors at two different colleges. Even though he was born in Washington, he grew up in Maryland. Growing up as a kid Chappelle knew he wanted to be a comedian and there were various personalities that inspired him but the two that gave him the most inspiration was Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. In 1991 he graduated Duke Ellington School of the Arts and afterwards he moved to New York to start his career as a stand-up comedian. With one of his performances he was booed off stage after gaining enough courage in the first place to even stand in front of the crowd during Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater. Instead of getting down and unmotivated by the experience, it fueled his desire more to become a comedian. By the age of nineteen he was in a movie as ‘Ahchoo’ in Robin Hood: Men in Tights which is a Mel Brooks film and it was very funny. After that, his career took off and in 2003 he starred in his own show on Comedy Central called ‘Chappelle’s Show’ and it is there that he gained a following as he did various parodies of American culture that involved politics, pop culture, and even racial stereotyping. Anyways drawing Dave Chappelle will be easy enough for folks to tackle even if it is a bit complicated for some of you novice artists. Have fun people and enjoy.
